Watch and follow along on the process here on IG!

You’ll Need:

  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp active dry yeast

  • 1 ½ cups warm water (around 110°F)

The Process:

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and mix until all the flour is incorporated.

  2. Let it Rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours (overnight is perfect. That’s what I did.)

  3. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface, fold it inward 6-8 times, and shape into a ball. Cover and let rise for 30 more minutes.

  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place dough on parchment, score, and put in an oven safe pot. I used “The Perfect Pot” from Our Place. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 10 more minutes until golden brown.

  5. Enjoy!: Cool slightly, slice, and serve with butter. Enjoy your warm, crusty bread!

With minimal effort and maximum flavor, this artisan bread will become your new favorite. Enjoy!
